A perfect treat for breakfast or a snack: Banana Walnut Bread! I love to healthify it a bit with flax, coconut oil and heart healthy walnuts!
Servings: 10 large slices

  • 1 cup sugar

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 cup milk (we used almond)

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt , vanilla or plain
  • 1 cup walnuts , chopped

  2. In a small bowl, add flour, flax seed, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, add sugar and coconut oil. Beat at medium speed until creamy.
  4. Add one egg at a time, then vanilla and milk.
  5. Slowly pour in flour mixture, beating to combine. Add walnuts.
  6. Add Greek yogurt and bananas, mixing only long enough to combine.

Recipe Notes

If you don't have coconut oil substitute with butter. To make muffins, pour batter into lined muffin tins and decrease baking time to 20-25 minutes.
